Kim, thank you so much for the update.

We go now to Iran, where details are emerging about one of the bloodiest crackdowns in the country in decades.

Iran shut off the internet and blocked communications earlier this month, trying to keep the world in the dark about the deadly wave of violence it used to crush anti-government protests.

And now, as rights groups investigate, they say they're uncovering evidence that the death toll is far higher than they originally thought, as the journal's Margarita Stancati reports.

That would make it one of the deadliest episodes since the establishment of the Islamic Republic and even exceed the death toll of China's crackdown on Tiananmen Square in 1989.

And Margarita says the sheer scale of violence has repressed protests and sent a chill through the Iranian population.

And the rising number of deaths could have geopolitical significance, with the U.S.

moving an aircraft carrier to the Middle East in the event of a possible strike on Iran.

President Trump held off attacking Iran earlier this month, saying that the country had stopped killing protesters, but said he was monitoring the situation.

Coming up, we've got the rest of the day's news, including a potential antitrust red flag for Netflix's Warner deal and the end of an era of dashing to grab your seat on Southwest Airlines.

Those stories and more after the break.

Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino is set to leave Minnesota, along with some of his agents, in a sign of a potential change in President Trump's immigration strategy.

Trump has sent his borders are Tom Homan to the state instead in an attempt to try and deescalate tensions following two fatal shootings at the hands of federal agents.

Even before Adam Preddy was shot dead on Saturday, a string of recent polls had shown Trump losing support on immigration.

We've also learned that Trump worried that enforcement activities in Minnesota looked chaotic, not strong, as some in the administration privately voiced concern about tactics on the ground.

The White House has said Trump will reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota if local officials there increase their cooperation with federal authorities.

Meanwhile, the U.S.

government is just days away from a partial shutdown.

To avoid that, the Senate needs to pass a package of six remaining appropriations bills covering a range of departments, including most notably the Department of Homeland Security.

That DHS funding includes more than $18 billion for customs and border protection and $10 billion for immigration and customs enforcement, something that Senate Democrats say they won't support unless significant new restrictions and oversight are written into the legislation, including more use of body cameras.
